Conventional bulk cargo

A historical reference in the field of bulk agrifood products (cereals, malt, cocoa, sugar, etc.), HAROPA PORT also plays a crucial role for many other bulk cargos going to industry, most notably fertilisers, coal, chemicals, de-icing salts, peat, atapulgite, pumice stones, biomass and bauxite.

River logistics, reliable and punctual, are particularly well suited to industrial sectors.

The seaports of Le Havre and Rouen are fully connected to all Parisian terminals via the river, and massified cargoes can be easily stored, processed, packaged and redistributed as close as possible to major industrial production or trading sites.

Road and rail transport are also greatly facilitated.

HAROPA PORT currently handles the global fleet’s largest bulk carriers thanks to its exceptional access conditions for seagoing vessels.

In addition, the numerous specialised facilities and tools available at more than 50 dedicated terminals enable stevedores to respond precisely to the specific constraints of the products to be handled, while at the same ensuring that the operations are conducted at maximum speed.

The solid bulk industrial sector generates global throughput of nearly 4Mt each year at HAROPA PORT terminals.
